At this time, a table happened to be given up in the store, and the group of people sat down in front of the long table and looked around curiously.
The boy who was serving the dishes just came out of the kitchen, and suddenly he saw these royal guards wearing bright red brocade clothes.
The boy's hands shook in fright, and he almost knocked the hot braised pork in his hand to the ground.
But I saw the gentleman in Jinyiwei smiled at the young man and looked very warm: "Man, here are six bowls of stew and ten fires."
The boy nodded bravely, his face turned pale involuntarily, then he walked quickly back to the kitchen and whispered to Shen Lie.
Shen Lie was busy in the back kitchen. He was slightly startled when he heard this, so he quickly walked out of the back kitchen and said hello to Tian Baihu and others who were joking in the front hall.
"Hey, Mr. Tian... you all are really rare guests."
The two of them are already familiar with each other.
After a few greetings, Tian Hong and others looked at Shen Lie, looking at the apron around his waist and the big spoon in his hand, and couldn't help but look a little strange.
In the midst of the noise, Tian Hong showed a warm smile again and joked: "Business manager Shen's business is really booming here. Tian was a bad customer today and disrupted your business. Please don't take offense to manager Shen."
Shen Lie wiped his hands on his apron, showed a bright smile, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take it seriously, how did you say this... Please wait a moment, the stew and fire will be here soon."
Tian Hong smiled again and said: "Not busy, not busy."
Shen Lie and Tian Hong were chatting and laughing so happily that the frightened diners around them were stunned and gathered together to whisper and discuss.
"The shopkeeper of this cheap shop has a good background."
"Shh, keep your voice down!"
It would be terrible if those royal guards heard it.
But this scene...
It adds a bit of mystery to the already popular Bianyifang.
Not long after, Shen Lie exchanged a few words and quickly returned to the kitchen. Stirring with a large spoon, he filled the pot with pork belly, pork intestines, and various side dishes...
After boiling, I picked up six big bowls and filled them up.
Shen Liecai personally took the boy and put six bowls of extra braised food and a basket of golden roasted food in front of Tian Hong and others.
Shen Lie wiped his hands again and said with a smile: "Master Tian, please use it slowly."
Tian Hong and others picked up their chopsticks with great interest, picked out a piece of pork belly and took a bite, then ordered another bite of the roasted pork belly, which was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and they praised it profusely.
"okay!"
"good!"
A few words of praise and a few compliments.
Shen Lie showed his bright smile again.
Another half hour later.
Afternoon.
The diners who were full or not full dispersed one after another, and the crowded shop became quiet, but Tian Hong and other Jin Yiwei were not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, we sat in the small shop chatting, discussing the deliciousness of braised white meat, lighter than twice-cooked pork, and less fishy than haggis soup.
Everyone couldn't help but praise it. This braised and fired braised dish was indeed very delicious and cheap. No wonder it attracted so many diners.
At this time, Shen Lie hurriedly came from the kitchen, bowed to Tian Hong, and began to greet him: "Master Tian is here, and Shen has come a long way to greet me. I forgive you, I forgive you."
Naturally, Tian Hong wouldn't be offended and said a few polite words: "Shopkeeper Liu doesn't have to be like this. I heard that shopkeeper Liu's ancestors were also from Fusi, Beizhen?"
Shen Lie hurriedly said: "Yes."
Then Tian Hong's smile became even warmer and he laughed loudly: "Then he is no longer an outsider."
When Shen Lie heard this, his heart moved and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you are so flattering."
With just such a greeting and politeness, the relationship between the two of them became a little closer, and they became closer instinctively.
For a while, everyone in the shop was chatting and laughing.
After chatting for a while, Tian Hong stood up, smiled at Shen Lie, said a few polite words, and then left the shop with a group of Jin Yiwei.
Shen Lie personally delivered it to the entrance of the alley and said a few more polite words: "Sir, you come here often!"
Seeing the Jinyi guards walking away, Shen Lie put away the smile on his face, his eyebrows were thoughtful, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
Shen Lie pondered while walking back to the shop.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Yun'er pouting at the counter, who was picking up the abacus, and muttered in a low voice: "Master, these people are the lackeys of the imperial court. A serious person wouldn't even have time to hide. Master...he still wants to fight with her." They make friends."
Shen Lie smiled and said softly: "Don't say this out loud."
As he spoke, Shen Lie narrowed his eyes and pondered in his heart.
Is Jin Yiwei a lackey of the imperial court?
Of course not.
This is just a common people's misunderstanding of traffickers and pawns. They are serious royal minions, the emperor's personal soldiers, and represent the supreme imperial power!
Jin Yiwei has a bad reputation. Of course it is very bad. However, all the injustices in the world and the things that harm the country and the people are not necessarily caused by Jin Yiwei.
"There are some polite scum..."
At this moment, Shen Lie was murmuring to himself, with a wise look in his eyes. He had learned a lot and gained wisdom. In order to prevent his shop from being targeted and robbed...
He has made Tian Hong his friend!
So, Shen Lie told Yun'er: "Next time someone from the guardhouse comes, remember it. Don't neglect it."
Yun'er quickly responded obediently: "Oh!"
Anyway, she only listens to the young master's words. The young master is never wrong.
Shen Lie smiled slightly, looked at the cute and sensible maid, then looked at the somewhat messy shop, and stretched out comfortably.
In the blink of an eye, it was three days later.
The Braised and Fired Sauce is still selling like hot cakes. As Shen Lie expected, there will be several Jinyi Colonels who come to have a meal at noon every day under the leadership of a chief flag officer or a small flag officer.
Tian Hong would come here every once in a while. Every time he came, he didn't bring many people, and he wasn't ostentatious. He was also very kind to Shen Lie, even a little humble.
Moreover, these Jin Yiwei were not in a hurry to leave after eating every day. Instead, they took the initiative to help maintain order at the alley.
Don't say it yet.
Since Jin Yiwei came forward, the originally crowded alley suddenly became more orderly, with diners lining up obediently, and even the rogues who took advantage of the chaos and stole away were scared away.
At this moment, Shen Lie understood in his heart that these Jin Yiwei were naturally sent by Tian Hong. Firstly, they were to maintain order to prevent trouble, and secondly, they were a kind of protection.
Tian Hong is a friend, even if he has made a friend.
Another night has fallen.
Shen family.
The night is slightly cool and as quiet as water.
Shen Lie sat in the yard, feeling the slight chill. He looked up at the stars in the sky, and there was a trace of trance in his eyes.
In the daily busyness, it has already arrived at the end of February unknowingly. Although the temperature difference between morning and evening is still large, the charcoal basin has been removed.
March is not far away from Yangchun.
As the business of the small store got on the right track, it experienced the anxiety when it first opened, then became popular and busy, and now it is orderly.
The differences in the store gradually became clearer. Yun'er, who had gone to private school and knew how to settle accounts, became half a bookkeeper. Shen Lie himself and Aunt Li took turns taking charge.
Together with a young boy and a few old neighbors, seven or eight people have managed this small shop. Now it's finally time to pay salaries at the end of the month, and it's time to settle the accounts.
In the main hall.
Yun'er was tapping the abacus with her small white hands. Looking from Shen Lie's point of view, the little maid was tapping the abacus very quantitatively and seriously...
And her little body has grown taller and plumper.
Unknowingly, even her dressing style has become more mature. She unexpectedly learned how to put on rouge and powder, and her cloud-soft green hair is still braided.
